About De Vliegende Hollander
About De Vliegende Hollander
De Vliegende Hollander (The Flying Dutchman) at Efteling is an indoor-outdoor water coaster opened in 2007, themed to the legend of the ghost ship. The first half is an enclosed dark ride through cursed sea scenes; the second half emerges outside for a 60-foot drop and water splashdown. Total ride duration around 4 minutes.
De Vliegende Hollander queues are typically 40-70 minutes on busy days. The dark-ride portion adds significant value over a standard water coaster - it is one of the most thematically-detailed water rides in Europe. Located in the Ruigrijk area.
De Vliegende Hollander has averaged about 22 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 09:00 and quietest around 18:00. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 90% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Thursdays and busiest on Saturdays.
